Haken H., Wolf H.C. Molecular Physics and Elements of Quantum Chemistry: Introduction to Experiments and Theory

2nd Edition. — Springer, 2004. — 600 p. — ISBN: 978-3-642-07400-4.This textbook introduces the molecular and quantum chemistry needed to understand the physical properties of molecules and their chemical bonds. It follows the authors' earlier textbook "The Physics of Atoms and Quanta" and presents both experimental and theoretical fundamentals for students in physics and physical and theoretical chemistry. The new edition treats new developments in areas such as high-resolution two-photon spectroscopy, ultrashort pulse spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, optical investigation of single molecules in condensed phase, electroluminescence, and light-emitting diodes.Mechanical Properties of Molecules, Their Size and Mass
